I Always Prefer the Window Seat
For years and years I used any excuse not to take a flight.
I hated the thought of, being trapped inside with someone else in control, the actual heights, the speed, possibly a crash obviously fatal, how do they keep this heavy thing in the air etc etc.
Now after 30 plus holiday flights abroad which is over 60 individual flights, I still do feel uneasy flying as I really hate when it's bumpy turbulence. Although I will admit now when looking out the window I find the take off with that surge of extreme power and speed thrilling. Then the landing as I watch the wings expand and the air brakes lift up to slow us down, such a brilliant experience. Not forgetting the magnificent views in flight LOL.
It's always the window seat for me to see these sights, in the isle seat I might feel the old fears kicking in when I don't see what is happening.
Oh I also dislike heights and cannot go more than four stories high without feeling faint.
It must be a case of what we don't understand being actually the fear !
